Pathology Virgil Cardiomyopathy

Front 1

CHF can occur from intrinsic or infiltrative myopathy such as:

Back 1

1) ischemic heart disease,
2) cardiomyopathy, or
3) infiltrative processes such as myocarditis or amyloidosis

Front 2

CHF can result from excessive workload from:

Back 2

1) increased resistence to ejection, as in systemic hypertension or aortic stenosis,
2) increased stroke volume due to septal defects or valvular insufficiency, or
3) increased body demands (high output failure) as may occur with thyrotoxicosis, anemia, pregnancy or peripheral arteriovenous shunts.

Front 3

right heart failure in the absence of left heart disease

Back 3

cor pulmone

Front 4

cardiomyopathy characterized by a large heart with dilated chambers and thin, stretched ventricular walls

Back 4

idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

Front 5

myopathy characterized by marked hypertrophy of the left ventricle, usually with a disproportionate increase in the interventricular septum

Back 5

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Front 6

microscopic findings in hypertrophic myopathy

Back 6

disarray of myocardial fibers

Front 7

restrictive myopathy description and causes

Back 7

ventricular walls excessively rigid. amyloid and endomyofibrosis are causes

Front 8

most common primary tumor of heart

Back 8

left atrial myxoma, which can obstruct mitral orifice, embolize, or lead to constitutional symptoms
